Seche Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat, 0.5 oz

This is the best Shiny & Long Lasting Top Coat EVER! Right after I have applied 1 or 2 coats of nail polish on my nails I apply 1 thick coat of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat over each nail. I wait 2 minutes and my nails are dry to the touch. I never have dings or chips on my nails now and the shine is great. I love this product! I am very active using my hands a lot!

Lives up to the hype and then some! I used as directed: applying a generous amount to each not quite dry nail. Dried super quickly and nice and hard. Unlike other “hardeners” it lasts days and did not peel when showering or washing my hair. Picture shows 10 days old. Be aware that it does smell like airplane glue when applying. No scent when dry. I have had trouble with nails breaking, but not lately! Excellent product! A+

I have been reading about this brand of topcoat for so long now. I do not know why I never bought it until recently. I think maybe the price had something to do with it. After all I thought it was just clear nail polish and I can get that at the dollar store. Am I glad that I finally took the plunge and bought a bottle. I am not what they call someone who spends a lot of time on "cuticle care" (Pitch Perfect reference *high5*) I keep my nail shorts because they tend to chip & break easily if I do not. I love nail polish colors, God knows I have plenty of them. Just recently I got my first "gel mani", boy, was I ever impressed. It was awesome. The color I chose was a beautiful green color that resembled something you'd see on a tropical island, it was so shiny and strong. I went swimming, playing in the sand, playing in the ocean, doing all kinds of outdoorsy stuff on my vacation, and not one chip was to be seen. In fact it was not until the 12th or 13th day that I noticed the color was coming off from the bottom up, noticed the top down. Which is what I like. Back to SECHE VITE DRY FAST TOP COAT: when I am not doing a gel manicure (which is always) I like my normal polish manicure (with a little bit of nail art on ring fingers to make me feel pretty) to last as long as humanly possible. Not only does this topcoat make my polish last days longer, it also makes my nails incredibly shiny, and it is helping them to grow stronger and longer. I am using a vitamin filled base coat to help my nails grow strong (Orly), I use a coat of this on top of the base coat, then I put my color , then I use this as my topcoat/quick dry, and I let it dry for about 20 minutes before I do anything. I have found that quick dry topcoats, quick dry sprays and drops, etc. Are not really quick dry at all. In fact when you try to use your nails too quickly after applying the quick dry topcoat, you will find smudges/ridges, and your nails become messy. I believe it helps the polish to dry a couple of minutes faster, but not immediately. The quick dry labeling lulls you into a false sense of security. I am sure many of us out there have used a quick dry product only to end up having to redo our nails. To wrap it up I think that this product is outstanding. I can see what all of the hype is about, and I'm still not sure whether it is worth the price, but I believe it is money well spent, for me anyways. I found that this product has done what it says it will do. Except for the quick dry thing. I believe it dries nails quicker, but not the quickest. Or completely. I like using this polish on top of my base coat. There are times when I want to go polish free, but I like to use the vitamin enriched base coat to strengthen and lengthen my brittle nails. This topcoat not only enhances the vitamin base coat it also adds a beautiful shine.

This is magic! It even makes cheap nail polish look ah-maze-ing! Wicked strong scent when applying, but is gone once dry and the shine is incredible. Love this stuff and will continue to purchase it!

Ok... So what kind of wizardry is this ?!?!?!! Because WOWWWWWW!!!!!!! I had already painted my nails with a magnetic polish a few days ago and learned after the fact, it's best to use a topcoat... I went to Reddit since I've never used a topcoat before, to find out which one is best for fast drying... Didn't want my nails getting wet & sticky all over again... Over & over, I saw this brand & ordered. Just painted over my thumbnail, waited only about 2 minutes and I have the smoothest, glass like finish that feels completely dry!!!!!! I literally haven't even gone over my other nails yet because I came straight here to write a review lol To say I'm impressed is a complete understatement!!!!! Will never be without this stuff again!!!!

This Seche Vive Gel Effect Top Coat gives my nails a shiny, long-lasting finish. It dries quickly and makes my manicure look salon-quality at home. I’ve noticed less chipping and a smooth, glossy look that lasts. Great product for a durable, gel-like finish

We are very pleasantly surprised by this top coat. It is fabulous. We have tried several other top coats, some a bit more expensive than Seche Vite. The test is what my nails look like the day after. There is still a high glass shine, as if they are still wet. It dries fast, with no shrinkage. This is my only top coat from now on. I love this product.

Super shiny and tough with lightening drying time.

Je l'utilise en base et en top coat. Il laisse les ongles brillants, cela donne presque un effet gel. Parfois je mets juste 2 couched de Sèche Vite et mes ongles brillent pendant des jours. Il paraît que ses composants sont mauvais pour la santé, et qu'il ne faut pas l'utiliser en étant enceinte, je ne le suis pas alors en attendant j'en profite!

Absolutely love this topcoat and use it with all polishes. It gives a fantastic gel-look shine, drys very quickly and really extends the life of your manicure/pedicure.

The best i’ve ever tried

Deixa um ótimo acabamento, esmalte seca muito rápido!

Super zufrieden, kaufe wohl nichts Anderes mehr. Habe jetzt nicht die mega große Erfahrung mit Nagellack, aber alle anderen Top Coats die ich bisher aus der Drogerie hab und auch von einer teureren Marke, brauchen ewig zum Trocknen und man hat morgens dann diese Kissen/Stoffabdrücke. Seche Vite trocknet einfach durch und das ziemlich schnell und hält dann auch locker eine Woche. Bin ziemlich begeistert. Hat bei mir auch funktioniert, wenn ich es auf schon trockenen Nagellack aufgetragen habe (anscheinend muss der Lack drunter noch nass sein?) Funktioniert auch mit UV Nagellack, wenn man es dünn aufträgt. Hatte mir keinen UV-Überlack bestellt und der farbige UV Lack war nach dem Aushärten unter der Lampe noch leicht klebrig. Mit einer dünnen Schicht von Seche Vite war das Problem dann gelöst. Bei einer dickeren Schicht verträgt sich das aber wohl nicht, da konnte ich es dann hin und her schieben und es sah komisch aus. Vom Preis finde ich es erstmal okay, habe wie gesagt nicht viel Erfahrung mit Nagellack. Wurde auch gut verpackt und schnell geliefert, also nichts Negatives zu sagen.
